Abstract

This study investigates how internship experiences influence job readiness perceptions among Business Administration students at Politeknik Negeri Padang, aiming to enhance vocational education and human resource quality in a global context. The literature review examines employment readiness and internship impacts on skill development and industry exposure, emphasising the role of internships in improving students' preparedness for work. This research uses descriptive and associative methods to explore the relationship between internship programmes and work readiness. Surveys were employed for data collection, with analysis techniques including validity testing, Spearman's rank correlation, and hypothesis testing. The study, which surveyed 115 Business Administration students, found strong agreement that internships enhance job knowledge, skills, attitudes, and workplace familiarity. Statistical analysis reveals a significant relationship (Spearman's rho = 0.773) between internships and work readiness(R² = 59.7%), underscoring the importance of internship programmes for student workforce preparation and advocating continued implementation at Politeknik Negeri Padang
